FASTENING LANTERNS.

Specicaton forming' part of Letters Patent No. 11,437, dated August 1, 1854.-; Reissued January so, 18155, No. 11,437.

To all whom t may concern Be it known that we, CHARLEs MONNIN and WILLIAM M. BOOTH, of Buffalo, in the county of Erie and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Lanterns for General Use; and we do hereby declare that the following is a full `de-` scription of the `construction and operation` of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, making a part of this specification, in which- Figure I is a vertical sectio'n of lantern with lamp inserted; Figs. II and III, transverse sections, and Fig.` IIIIaperspective view.

\ when inserted, and also of attaching a saucer or drainer around the lamp for the waste Oil in combination with this improvement.

In order to a better understanding of this application, we proceed to describe the lantern with its appendages.

The lantern may be of any desirable form,

guards of metal. n

A-B, Fig I, is the cylindrical ring inclosing the clamps, which work through two apertures?) Figs. II and III.

The nature Ofour invention consists in- D, Fig. I, represents the saucer.

Fig. II represents the ring C, with the clamps a, a, drawn in, that is, when the lamp and lantern are detached.

Fig. IIIis a representation of the clamps a, a, extended into the groove through the apertures b, and holding the lamp in its place. E

To connect the` lamp and lantern, cover the former with the lantern and turn (screw) the ring `forward. This pushes the clamps with an eccentric direction into the groove of the lamp and keeps it secure, as in Fig. III. To disconnect them, turn (unscrew) the ring backward. This movement brings the clamps back out of the groove into the ring, as in Fig. II.

What we claim as our invention, and which we desire to secure by Letters Patent, 1s

The application to lanterns of the beforementioned cylindrical or hollow ring, inclosing one or more metallic clamps or dogs, which move horizontally through apertures into a groove as herein described and set forth.
